When Home Wiring Needs Attention

Many homes in Washoe County were built long before today’s electrical demands, and their wiring has often been modified over the years. Some issues are minor, but others may indicate safety risks or upcoming code issues during a sale or refinance. Knowing what to look for helps you decide when to bring in our team for an inspection.

Common warning signs include tripped breakers, dimming lights when major appliances start, or warm or discolored outlets. You might also hear buzzing at switches, notice a burning smell near devices, or see older-style panels and fuses that have not been updated in decades. During a home inspection, an inspector may flag outdated panels, aluminum branch wiring, or circuits that are visibly overloaded.

Any of these symptoms can indicate that your wiring or panel is operating at the edge of its capacity. In some homes, targeted repairs or circuit upgrades solve the problem. In others, age, condition, or past work can point to a full-house rewiring. When we arrive at your property, our electricians check the service panel, visible wiring, and other key points to explain what is happening and which options are reasonable.

We know homeowners are wary of being pushed into more work than they truly need. Our approach is to separate what is urgent from what is optional, and to focus first on anything that affects safety. If a safe repair or partial upgrade will correct the issue, we explain that clearly. If we recommend broader work, such as whole-home rewiring, we walk you through the rationale, which areas are affected, and how the project would unfold.

Why Reno Homeowners Choose Us

When you invite electricians into your home, you are trusting them with your family’s safety and with the structure of your property. Many homeowners in this region choose Have Lights Will Travel because we bring a long record of service, a practical approach to costs, and systems that keep projects moving without unnecessary delays.

We have been serving Nevada homes since 1979. We are a family-owned electrical contractor, and our goal is to make wiring repairs and house rewiring as straightforward and stress-free as possible. We listen to your concerns, explain what we find in plain language, and help you choose the right level of work for your home and budget.

Our warehouse-on-wheels model is a major advantage for residential projects. Each service truck carries thousands of commonly used parts and materials. For many wiring repairs, circuit additions, and smaller upgrades, this allows us to complete the job in a single visit instead of leaving to find parts and coming back another day. For you, that can mean fewer disruptions, faster completion, and less time dealing with power shutoffs.

We also invest heavily in training and in the parts we install. Our electricians are licensed and undergo ongoing training to stay current with codes and safe wiring practices. We purchase inventory directly from manufacturers and conduct our own internal product testing. If a component does not perform well in our climate or under real conditions, we do not put it in your home. This attention to quality helps reduce the chances of premature failures and repeat work.

Our role as the longest-standing contractor in the Business Energy Services program reflects our focus on efficiency and long-term value. Combined with recognition on the Inc. 5000 list, it shows that we are both energy-conscious and stable as a company. When you choose us for residential projects, you are working with a team with deep roots in the community and processes refined over decades.

Future Proofing & Energy Efficiency

Many homeowners reach out to us after they notice a problem. Others contact us because they are planning ahead for remodeling, EV charging, home offices, or other changes that will increase electrical demand. Wiring and panel work can be an opportunity to prepare your home for these needs and improve efficiency at the same time.

Modern homes often support more equipment than older systems were designed to handle. Large HVAC units, induction ranges, hot tubs, and vehicle charging equipment can each place a significant load on circuits. When we evaluate your wiring, we look at both your current setup and your plans for the next several years. That way, if a panel upgrade or circuit changes are needed, they can be designed with future loads in mind rather than just covering the minimum for today.

Our involvement in the Business Energy Services program helps us stay ahead of rebate opportunities and practical energy-saving measures. When wiring upgrades touch lighting or other areas where efficiency improvements make sense, we talk through those options. In many cases, we can retrofit existing fixtures to LED solutions that reduce power use without requiring full fixture replacement.

The products we choose also support long-term performance. Because we buy directly from manufacturers and test components in-house, we know how they hold up in real conditions here. We avoid low-cost, short-life parts that may need to be replaced quickly. For you, that can mean fewer service calls in the years after your wiring or rewiring project.

We also understand that many homes in this region have character that owners want to preserve. When upgrades are needed, we look for practical ways to improve wiring and capacity while keeping the structure and appearance of your home intact as much as possible. That might include using existing chases, planning work around finished surfaces, or carefully coordinating with other contractors during renovations.
